[quote=Anonymous]Some studies have linked artificial sweeteners to an increased insulin response similar to sugar consumption that causes your body to go into fat storage mode. So while you aren't consuming calories, if you pair an artificially sweetened food/drink with more calories than your body currently needs, your body possibly generates an insulin spike in response and then your body will start converting whatever glucose that you have consumed into glycogen and glycogen into fat. The supposition is that as long as you pair diet drinks with a low to moderate calorie count, you're okay, but if you are pairing diet drinks with over about 600 calories of starches or sugars, that it will still trigger weight gain. There was one study in Texas in 2005 (there's a link in Wikipedia under Sugar Substitute), but it's not conclusive. Just suggestive. [/quote]
